When SAS Technical Support has an important announcement about the installation or configuration of SAS IT Resource Management 3.7, the information will be posted in this note. Therefore, you should bookmark this note and refer to it when performing those activities.

z/OS Sites Only

When you configure SAS IT Resource Management on the middle tier with a metadata server in the z/OS operating environment, the SAS^® Deployment Wizard might fail. The wizard can fail if the SAS Environment Manager Service Account (sasevs) is not defined. For more information, see SAS Note 53273, "The SAS^® Deployment Wizard fails when configuring SAS^® Environment Manager if the metadata server is in a z/OS operating environment."

• To support the inclusion of MSU and MIPS columns in staged tables for the IBM SMF adapter, SAS IT Resource Management supplies an initial copy of a SAS data set that is called ITMS_SMF_LSPRDATA. The version of the Large System Performance Reference (LSPR) table that forms the basis for this table is applicable to the z/OS V1 R13 operating system. Method 1 of the section "Methods for Including MIPS and MSU Columns in Staging Tables" in the SAS^® IT Resource Management: Administrator's Guide (for your release of the product) provides SAS code to update the ITMS_SMF_LSPRDATA SAS data set using a URL. Sites that run z/OS V2 R1 and later should change the SAS code to reference the following URL:

• The SAS IT Resource Management Report Center is a SAS Web Server application that you can configure to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 3.0. However, when the application is configured to use SSL 3.0, SAS IT Resource Management Report Center is affected by the POODLE vulnerability that is described in these documents:

• htps://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/alerts/TA14-290A
• https://www.openssl.org/~bodo/ssl-poodle.pdf

To disable SSL 3.0 in these servers, follow the instructions under the section "SAS^® Web Server Application" in SAS Note 54376, "Disabling Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 3.0 in SAS^® Web Server, SAS^® Web Application Server, and SAS^® Environment Manager Server." When you run the default multiple-managed application server, the location of the server.xml file for the SAS IT Resource Management Report Center server instance is as follows:

SAS-configuration-directory\Levn\Web\WebAppServer\SASServer10_1\conf\

In a single-managed application server, the location is as follows:

SAS-configuration-directory\Levn\Web\WebAppServer\SASServer1_1\conf
